Sorry, Samantha - I could have explained better that I was playing off of
the previous dialogue about the "illusory" aspects in the stock market and
even the insinuation that trading and investing in the market was akin to
gambling. When I said taking cash to the bank - I meant in order to pay for
my mortage, food, etc., as I make my living trading and investing in stocks,
you see.
